  That's my client, but a *really* old version of it.  I'd recommend
upgrading to 2.2 (though I'm prepping a 2.2.1 with some minor
enhancements people have contributed or asked for since 2.2).

  It'd be good to set up the scenario you want, and observe what
happens, and see what the difference is.

  When a server goes down, you want to pretend like it never existed.
